Random & strange bodily features I possess: A nose clit, a bright yellow spot in the white of my left eye, what appears to ALMOST be a vestigial tail (but is more of a vestigial BUMP), what would be two weirdie front teeth were they not capped, powerful chicken toes, peanut-sized bladder.

Random book I am reading: Midwives by Chris Bohjalian.

Random bit of randomness: Ever notice that the things you ruminate about as you're trying to fall asleep seem so much deeper and more significant and complex than they do when you wake up the next morning?
